This is not surprising: NIH cuts show women losing more funding than men - 57.9% vs 48.2%. And it gets worse: early-career scientists are being hit hardest, with women leading 60% of terminated grants among PhDs and assistant professor. So much hard work lost.

Have you heard about young people dying suddenly after COVID-19 vaccination? Our new study in @PLOSMedicine shows there's absolutely nothing to that. If anything, the opposite is true. With @husam247 and @DrJeffKwong journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…

🧵 Austrian physicans: "We CAN’T take responsibility for the constant, unmitigated infection of the population w/ a vascular-damaging, neurotropic virus like SARS-CoV-2, in which a previous infection provides no long-term protection vs future infection.” t-online.de/gesundheit/kra…

NEW REPORT: using updated data, I find that 2-4m Americans are not working due to #longcovid. This is costing us ~$170 billion annually in lost wages alone. A thread (1/) brookings.edu/research/new-d…

"When I wish upon a star.." Despite all our efforts to wish this away, COVID is still here. And we need to learn more. If you * have had COVID (recently or not so recently) * NOT had COVID * 18 or older, living in the US Please participate and share. covid-long.com

Goes without saying at this point… Test before exiting isolation to know you are no longer infectious (Do not listen to the @CDCgov on this - Unfortunately it’s been wrong for months.) 5 days does NOT mean you are not infectious MOST people remain infectious at 5 days.

Dr Kress is also hiring post-docs! If you are interested in Epi methods, microbiome, and chemical mixtures, join Dr @AmiiKress @ECHOChildHealth @JohnsHopkinsEPI!

One of my kids tested (+) for COVID yesterday. Got the email from the nurse he can rerun in 5 days…in a mask until day 10. It’s INSANITY that we are knowingly sending kids back to school who are likely (+). Test to return or stay home. 🤦🏻‍♀️ That’s how we stop the spread.
